Apt was pretty much as described, but we would not stay again: no closet or dresser to use, resulting in open suitcases on the floor in an apt that doesn't have much free space; the very strong smell of a man's apt; only 1 set of keys; have to pay for pool towels (only 40thb but annoying); close to but not IN the busy/happening area (at least a 10 min walk out of building, out of back gate, along canal, across canal, then past several residential buildings/empty lots to where there starts to be street food, businesses, etc); laundry machine takes FOREVER to dry clothes; flimsy mattress; bed frame that is an odd height that we kept banging knees and shins; cabs are a little hard to get b/c of location across the canal; tuk tuk shuttle only runs every 1/2 hour and stops at 730pm.

The Pros: apt was clean; building is quiet; high end TV; super fast wifi; dvd player; helpful apt guide binder with channel listings and area yoga classes,food,etc; nice pool area (altho water is ICY cold!); large hottub (only hot in afternoons); convenience store outside the front gates; guards helpful in flagging taxis; lively and bustling 10 mins away; good curtains that mostly block the sun in bedroom; great view of night skyline; water filter in kitchen; fairly smooth booking and check in/out; never met host but seemed friendly enough.

Overall the place fell short of our expectations for a "luxury" building/apt.
